Student Workshop Pack - 12" inch Lampshades - 30 pack

Designed for the classroom, workshop or any group making activity these packs contain everything students need to create professional handmade lampshades using their design of choice.  From concept to completion students will enjoy the process of designing their lampshade, reflecting their ideas and inspirations in a project that will have resonance far beyond the end of the lesson.

Every pack contains clear and comprehensive instruction sheets (A4) with colour photographs to help each student.
We also have PowerPoint / PDF presentations, and videos accessible for additional support.


How do they work?
The student will provide their covering of choice; any fabric or wallpaper can be used.
This covering is laminated to the self-adhesive lampshade panel in packs, and they follow the step by step instructions to make the lampshade.  It’s a straightforward process which is highly rewarding.

Purpose of the lampshade packs
These packs enable tutors to teach a new skill and run creative workshops, projects and events in educational and social establishments. Lampshade making will engage, excite, inspire and challenge pupils, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art. Students will acquire a broad range of subject expertise in making the product and draw on many disciplines such as maths, science, computing, art and practical skills.
